[Corpora-List] Search for legal English corpora

[Ralf Steinberger]

Dear Maria José,
 
The JRC-Acquis corpus, which you can download from
http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/JRC-Acquis.html, contains purely legal text
(legislation), plus other text types such as international agreements, which
you may want to include in that genre.
 
These texts were mostly downloaded from the Eur-Lex website which Alberto
Simões just mentioned in his reply to you.
 
In addition to English, you will find the same texts also in 21 other
official EU languages.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Greetings to Spain, from Italy,
 
Ralf

Dear list members,
I am a researcher from the Univeristy of Murcia, Spain, and am carrying out
a corpus-driven study on a given legal English genre. I need some
information about available legal English corpora . I know of the BoLC from
the university of Bologna, Italy, and also the CUP totally inaccessible
ones, but have not found anything else.
Could you please help me? 
Thank you in advance.
Regards, 
Mª José Marín Pérez
